MoonQuest

MoonQuest is a procedurally generated adventure game. Each game creates a new world of forests, mountains and ancient ruins for you to explore, where you harvest resources, find treasure and craft weapons for your journey.

Explore a changing world

Each world has varied regions with their own resources, wildlife, enemies, merchants, weather and moon. You can explore caves beneath forests for rare metal ores, search ancient ruins for powerful items and uncover the secrets of a lost cathedral. The world is fully destructible: chop through thick vines to enter lairs or demolish walls to get into castles and ruins.

Regions you may encounter include:

• A snow-buried forest with frozen ponds and wandering bandits.
• A grand castle atop a mountain, guarded by a silver legion.
• A labyrinthine ruin before a desolate tomb.
• A rope bridge leading to a deserted beach.
• A sewer system hiding an ancient rusted machine.
• Winding sugar caves populated by bats.
• A cathedral plagued by demons, hidden below an altar.
• A bustling village of craftspeople.
